I had one of the most beautiful meals of my life on my visit to Kinsale. I was only in Kinsale for three nights and I only discovered Crackpots on the second, but, my wife and I went back there on our last night. I had a perfectly cooked steak the first night and I had fish the second night.... More

We were encouraged to come later anyway to hear the Jazz Pianist and were promised a seat at the bar. They ended up giving us a table when it became free and we had... More

Our evening was somewhat spoilt by a large and very noisy group of guys at a table next to us. The food was fine if a bit pedestrian and, as others have said, rather overpriced.

We had a wonderful family dinner at Crackpots last Thursday after a long drive down from Dublin at the end of a day's work. The folk were welcoming and talkative, but not overly so: just the way you'd want them to be. The food was excellent if slightly pricey: I had butternut squash and ginger soup then my favourite John... More

Unfortunately this time I cant say I was very impressed with the standard of Food in the Restaurant. Also, we were not impressed with the table we were given, being... More
